Spotlight on Penni @PenniPete ~ Vintage Treasures to Love

If you love a dash of the past or a splash of the present for your home decor or for a special gift, you must visit Penni Peterson on Etsy or eBay! If you see something you like, you should get it quickly, as her items are super popular and sell out fast! However, Penni is constantly on the hunt for Vintage or New Treasures that she loves and thinks others will, too!

This is one of our favorites of her newly listed items:

 Richard Blenko Signed & Dated 12" Vase Cobalt Blue With Amber Accent Swirl

Previously owned, displayed but never used, very fine condition, no damage or wear. Any white spots seen in the photos are from lighting glare and are not present on the vase. This is a vintage Blenko blown glass, cobalt blue with amber swirl applique, 12" high vase. 

The rim is 3 7/8" in diameter. The vase has been signed (etched) on the bottom by Richard Blenko and dated 2000 around the rough pontil from the glass blowing process.  It also has the original Blenko sticker affixed on the side.  Well cared for and gorgeous!


And here is another that is exotic and intriguing: 


Previously owned, in like new condition, no damage or wear. Lovely! From the Franklin Mint, vintage 1987, this is The Vase of the Golden Falcon Egyptian Vase by Roushdy Iskander Garas. In the photograph the falcon's head is in shadow but appears perfectly on the vase. Hand decorated with 24 karat details, a rich blue glaze on fine porcelain, it stands 14 inches tall. Paperwork and box, if any is missing. Packed carefully and insured for safe delivery.



This one she is featuring today on her twitter account:





Previously owned vintage bowl in excellent condition, no chips, cracks or sick glass. 
Little to no wear. There are a couple of tiny bubbles inside the glass from the glass making process. Blown ruby red glass with a rough pontil, could be Blenko but the glass seems thicker than any Blenko I have seen in my limited experience. It measures 10.5" in diameter and stands 5 inches tall. Crimping was used to create the ruffles. Lovely and well-cared for vintage glass serving bowl!


Take a break and visit Penni's shops today! On eBay On Twitter or On Etsy

Focus on Art by Renee


(Please meet our friend, Renee, an accomplished artist. In her own words, about her: The first thing I ever asked for as a small child was watercolor paints. I sold my first commission piece in pastels at the age of 13. I have worked in many medias and am currently working with both acrylic painting and pen and ink.)

 

Hot Summer Night Original Acrylic canvas Board with Gold Metal frame Signed


 

"Hot Summer Night"  original acrylic on canvas board.  It includes a gold metal frame and is ready to hang on the wall.  It would make a great accent piece in a small space or in an office or den.  The outside edges are 14 1/4"  x 10 1/4 " approximately.  I will attach a certificate of authenticity to the back of the art work.  When summer comes to the southwest it is hot and dry and sometimes there is a stillness with not a breeze.  Everything radiates heat.  Idea for this painting came on one of those nights.  

Artists Statement:  As an artist I am always expressing what I see and feel.  I sold my first commission piece at the age of 13 and have never really stopped creating.  I have worked in numerous mediums: pastels, charcoal, watercolors, acrylics and pen and ink.  I have worked with the exotic animal industry and did both commission work and shows in the western states. 

I designed programs for shows as well as T-Shirts for state Animal Associations and National Shows.  I also sold greeting cards, t-shirts and designs to animal parks and zoos across America.  I have spent many hours with many different kinds of animals up close. I  am always curious and try new things.  I am currently working in pen and ink and acrylics.  I am inspired by the natural world both the landscape and the animals that live there. After spending many years in the Pacific NW I moved to the desert SW and am continually amazed at the mountains and canyons of the southwest and how they change their appearance.

Her Pen and Ink Prints are incredible, artistically catching minute details and the awesome personalties of her adorable models:
